Mortgage Rates for June 25, 2024

The Fed maintained interest rates at their June 12 meeting, signaling a higher-for-longer stance. However, this may be unsustainable as households cut back on spending, says Dr. Selma Hepp, chief economist at CoreLogic. With rising unemployment and more economic indicators showing disinflation, the Fed may cut rates this year. However, home buying often hinges on personal circumstances rather than economic conditions. It might be wise to buy now at a higher rate and refinance later rather than waiting for the market to become more affordable.
